From kitsch cafes to innovative breakfast options that are more art than food…
There’s something we love about catching up with friends over a casual breakfast at a cosy cafe. And luckily for us, Dubai is filled with them. From independent restaurants to more opulent options, these are the places serving up avo toast – and all your other favourite breakfast options – designed for the ‘Gram.
Here are 18 of Dubai’s most Instagrammable breakfast spots…
Brunch & Cake
Brunch & Cake is the cult Instagram-worthy cafe that originated in Barcelona (where there’s queues of people trying to bag a seat every day). Fortunately for us Dubai residents, there’s a new branch which opened in Al Wasl, Jumeirah. From boho-chic interiors to pretty outdoor terrace and brightly coloured acai bowls to their signature brekkie board served on a garden shovel, you’ll be getting snap-happy the whole time you’re there.
Brunch & Cake Dubai, Ground Floor, Wasl 51, Al Wasl Rd, Dubai, Sun to Wed 8am to 8am, Thur to Sat 8am to 10pm. Tel: (800) 4726362. @brunchandcakedubai
Society DXB Cafe & Lounge
Society DXB is the ultra swanky breakfast spot loved by many across the city for its super-classy setting and varied breakfast menu. They’ve got something for everyone, from a healthy Mediterranean breakfast to some seriously indulgent breakfast waffles, crepes and pancakes. For careful diners, opt for the ‘ParknDine’ option, where you will get your meals delivered right to your car.
Society DXB Cafe and Lounge, Jumeirah Street, Dubai, 8am to 6pm daily. Tel: (04) 222 2811. societydxb.com
Cassette
Cassette has been a big hit with people since its grand opening earlier this year. Found in Al Quoz’s cute Courtyard, which deserves an accolade all of its own for Instagramability, the space is unsurprisingly dedicated to music which is evident in its design, carefully chosen playlist and special corner with old vinyls. The breakfast options are healthy, nutritious and creative, although we think you can’t go wrong with their classic avo smash on toast.
Cassette, The Courtyard, Al Quoz, Dubai, daily 8am to 6pm. Tel: (04) 349 1966. @cassettedxb
Vibe
Promising ‘good vibes only’, you’re guaranteed a smile as soon as you walk into this brightly coloured, tropical-style cafe which will have you feeling like you’re in a little roadside spot in the Caribbean. Their breakfast dishes are a work of art and we must give a nod to the cute and creative names of them like ‘I’m benedicted to you’ and ‘scramble, don’t go bacon my heart’.
Vibe UAE, Al Wasl Road, Jumeirah, 12am to 10pm, daily. Tel: (04) 339 0087. @vibeuae
Two at Symphony
It doesn’t get much more Instagrammable than the stunning dishes you’ll find at Two at Symphony which is almost too pretty to eat. The interior of the cafe has a gorgeous pink and brass palette and we think you’ll be hard-pressed to skip the bakery on your way out.
Two at Symphony, The Dubai Mall, Financial Centre Road, Dubai, 10am to 1am, daily. Tel: (04) 874 8672. @twoatsymphony
Social Company
The Social Company (or SoCo as it’s known by its band of loyal followers) provides a cool urban spot for a coffee catch up. You could even head there for a post-workout breakfast after visiting the resident fitness centre, Native Club. It feels like the perfect neighbourhood hangout spot that wouldn’t be out of place on an American sitcom.
Social Company, Ground Floor, Zabeel House by Jumeirah, The Greens Onyx Towers, Tower 3, Dubai, 7am to 11pm Sun, Mon and Thur, 7am to 10pm Tue and Wed. Tel: (04) 519 1111. zabeelhouse.com
Myocum
Inspired by the relaxed all-day breakfast vibe of Byron Bay in Australia, Myocum has a passion for community, wholesome breakfast options and a serious love for freshly-brewed coffee. To start off your day with a bang, order the high on acai bowl (Dhs49) with banana, mango, berries, homemade granola, goji and coconut, or the wholesome Myocum porridge (Dhs57) made with quinoa and coconut milk.
Myocum, Unit 43, Dar Wasl Mall, Al Safa, Dubai, coffee 7am, meals 8am to 9pm, daily. Tel:(054 )530 5905. @myocum_dubai
The Hamptons
This gorgeous cafe is inspired by the lifestyle of The Hamptons in the USA, and is has such a pretty exterior that you’ll be stopping to snap a picture before you even go inside. The interiors have a beach-house vibe which leads out to an airy conservatory adorned with flowers. If your mum is coming to visit, make sure this is in your itinerary. They also have a branch on Jumeirah Beach Road and Arabian Ranches.
The Hamptons Cafe, Jumeirah Islands, Dubai, 8am to 10pm, daily. Tel: (04) 564 5770. hamptonsdubai.com
Arrows and Sparrows
For nutritious and seriously-Instagrammable dishes that are bursting with goodness and flavour, Arrows and Sparrows needs to be on your radar. Their menu is devoted to body-nourishing, nutrient-packed creations and they have no less than four avocado-toast offerings. Bliss.
Arrows and Sparrows Cafe, 4A Street, Emaar Business Park, Building 4, The Greens, Dubai, 9am to 6pm, daily. Tel: (04) 558 8141. @arrowsparrows
Common Grounds
For some seriously creative acai bowls and delicious breakfast options with a healthy twist, you can always count on Common Grounds. It’s conveniently located in Mall of the Emirates, so makes the perfect pit-stop to fuel up before a busy day of shopping. We love their smashed avo on toasted sourdough, finished off with ricotta, lime, chilli, sea salt and an option of poached eggs, served to your preference.

Mitts & Trays
We’d go back to Mitts & Trays time and time again just for their oh-so-beautiful iced coffee that’s almost too good to drink. With a spot on the picturesque Bluewaters Island, they keep things very 2019 with their entire menu available on iPads offering a range of nutritious options. Don’t forget to save room for a cake or pastry from their patisserie which will strike you as soon as you walk in.

Friends Avenue
The perfect spot to catch up for breakfast in JLT, Friends Avenue is always busy, so don’t be surprised if you have to wait a few minutes to bag a seat. Their breakfast (and all other) offerings are plentiful, colourful and satisfying and they serve up great coffee. Looking for a good cafe to take your laptop? Put this one on your list. Breakfast is served until 3pm.

Boston Lane
Another leaf from the branch of Al Quoz’s pretty Courtyard is the equally stunning Boston Lane. The actual cafe is quite small but with alcoves filled with clothes, trinkets and books, it rocks the concept store feel. If you can, try and bag a seat outside for the ultimate sunshine experience.
Boston Lane Cafe, 25 4B Street, The Courtyard, Al Quoz, Dubai, daily, 8am to 6pm. Tel: (058) 517 2131. @bostonlane.dubai
Bounty Beets
With a botanical setting that spills right out from the pretty cafe into the outdoor terrace, Bounty Beets is well-known amongst the city’s health-conscious crowd and for good reason. They’ve got something for everyone, from vegan to vegetarian or gluten-free so you’ll find something to suit your palette.

Saya Brasserie
Saya Brasserie cafe is every Instagrammer’s dream, with plush pink-paradise interiors and a picture-perfect setting. Flowers and plants adorn every part of the space, from the walls to the tables and even the light shades. Pull up one of the baby pink shell-shaped chairs grouped around white tables, and settle in for an afternoon. Dining there takes on an Alice in Wonderland-tea party sort of vibe, with dainty teacups and saucers serving tea and cake. There’s also cool iced drinks served in metallic-tinted glasses and speciality coffees served in cute milk jars with a helping of baked brownies. They’re open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and, as well as the original cafe in City Walk, an outpost has now been opened on Palm Jumeirah’s Nakheel Mall.

You’ll find it at the chic new Vida Creek Harbour, with unbelievable views of the Dubai skyline from the relaxing terrace. There’s a massive focus on plant-powered eating, with 80 per cent of the menu plant-based and the other 20 per cent seafood.
